La Banque à Bas

An automatic counter distributing warm clothing

Automatic counter deposit composed of recovered kitchen stoves in front of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. This installation was partly a response to the lack of public art visibility during the exhibit De fougue et de passion at the M.A.C., and especially condemned the staggering profits of 7.5 billion dollars made by Canadian banks as opposed to the increase in the number of underprivileged people. After a few talks we managed to set up our installation in the street for more than two months, distribute more than 15,000 dollar’s worth of warm clothing and start a collaboration with the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal.
